Abstract
A coin-shaped battery includes a cathode case (1) having a crimp portion (14) in the periphery of a bottom face (1a), and an anode cap (2) having a flange (6) with an extended portion (7) and a turn-up portion (8). Openings of cathode case (1) and the anode cap (2) are sealed by crimping with a gasket (3) interposed therebetween, so that the gasket (3) is compressed between the crimp portion (14) having a U-shaped cross section, the flange (6), the extended portion (7) and the turn-up portion (8) to effect reliable sealing. Thus, it is possible to disperse a deformation pressure, which is generated by bulge of the cathode case (1) and the anode cap (2) caused with a rise in internal pressure of the battery under severe working conditions such as use under a high temperature. As a result, the coin-shaped battery having improved liquid leakage resistance in the crimped portion is provided.
